You wanna talk about badass, Vanth Dreadstar was badass enough to destroy a whole galaxy. Syzygy Darklock was no slouch either, with a mystic forcefield that could withstand the impact of multiple high-grade nuclear detonations.

Ace is shorter, slimmer, a man, and based on Daniel Dae Kim. Angel is taller, more muscular, and a lady-fied combination of Lee van Cleef and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. Since Ace has yet to get a decent face shot and they both have the same haircut, I drew them beside each other here once.

So… IS Angel a woman? Angel is a woman’s name, I have a sister called Angel, but I figure it could’ve been one of those ‘toughen you up by giving you a girl’s name’ thing. The picture on your tumblr shows Angel in a bikini, but you once drew Fenix in a bikini so I can’t trust that. Some could argue about just looking at Angel’s figure to figure out the gender. I think the hips could point towards Angel being a woman, but I’ve seen girlier looking men. One of which later went on to become a girl but that’s a different story. And a flat chest means nothing as some woman just don’t have much in that department. I’m sorry, but this has been bugging me ever since he/she appeared in this arc.

Seriously I was just wondering the same thing, “when” did he lose that tooth or was it made that way? He’s just genetically predisposed to having his teeth knocked out so one of them already came loose?

Love the pictures, they’re awesome, it really adds a lot to the backstory of the universe.

Happy 4th birthday MGDMT! I’ve only discovered you in the last year but I’m hooked on this comic.
The gag comics are hilarious, the story comics are really interesting and the characters/art is amazing too :D
*crosses fingers for MGDMT movie 2020*

Deus Ex Human Revolution will change your life. …. I’d highly recommend it, the original may have been fun but HR is where the story has really exploded. Plus, you know. Graphics. And voice acting. And fighting. Beautiful game, worth playing. Steam sale. Go.

These are the two of them next to each other, but that first panel is pretty tiny so everyone’s faces got super simplified (like half of them ended up with the same nose). Angel’s kind of a composite of Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa and Lee van Cleef. Ace is supposed to be a less devastatingly handsome Daniel Dae Kim, but I really need to give him more close-ups to get the hang of drawing his features properly, because his head is only ever like a quarter inch tall.

I think I laughed harder than you would expect at Angel’s last line there since Jonesy thinks genetically engineered people aren’t “real people,” so i’m already anticipating the awkward situation that will come from her meeting someone that went full-on RoboCop.

Okay, so B52 and B17 are both types of bombers, does that mean the rest are something similar? or, as you said above, they are supposed to represent names (like how that one sucessful egg in the movie Species ended up being ‘Sil’?)

V47-KR = Valkyrie
(a valkyrie (from Old Norse valkyrja “chooser of the slain”) is one of a host of female figures who decide which soldiers die in battle and which live)
and
D37-9E = Delge
(Low quality music or art. Music or art that is not about anything substantial; has no artistic merit, integrity or originality. Examples: the lion’s share of popular music, especially Euro-pop and RnB.)

I have to say, you are amazingly good at summarizing complex stories. Not only do you make it make sense without being overly wordy, but you manage to fit the exposition naturally into the course of a normal conversation! Kudos, big time.

no need to apologize for lack of “gag”…. your comedy is gold in general, but if I read it for *just* the funny I’d be missing out on a whole lot. Kinda same way I feel about One Piece, actually (which is my favorite series ever, so that’s a compliment even if you disagree with me)

I love this comic so much. I probably have read, like, 3 comics (and haven’t played a video game since “Ms Pac Man” was new) so I have to ask my daughter about some of the references, but that in NO way takes away from my enjoyment of your work. Plus I get to play video games with my kid, so, WIN-WIN. Please keep making this comic, and if it ever becomes a printed book, I’m there! Thank you again.
